The upcoming Batman v Superman movie, dubbed Man of Steel 2, is expected to have an official title that fails to mention either of its famous combatants, according to reports. The film, a sequel to this year's Superman reboot, Man of Steel, will see the last son of Krypton take on Gotham's dark knight.

Warner Bros registered dozens of web domains in advance of production. The studio broadly hinted about a likely title for Zack Snyder's film, which stars Henry Cavill as Superman. Potential titles include Man of Steel: Battle the Knight; Man of Steel: Darkness Falls; and Man of Steel: Shadow of the Night. Others you might see on screen? Beyond Darkness, Black of Knight and Knight Falls.
